WOW! Children’s Museum is committed to being a gathering place for all children and families.  We respect, value and celebrate the unique attributes, characteristics and perspectives that make each person who they are.  We also believe that bringing diverse individuals together allows us to better understand, support and engage our community. It is our aim, therefore, that our Museum and programs are accessible, meaningful and welcoming to all audiences.  

As part of our effort to provide exceptional play-based learning to the diverse families of our communities, WOW! is committed to offering an accessible space to all. Visit this page for information about adaptive equipment, social stories, Sensory Friendly Playtimes and more.

At WOW! Children’s Museum we are proud to support families with children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and intellectual or developmental disorders (IDD.) We provide access to information from a wide range of organizations and providers to support families and allow them to explore treatment and support options in the community. WOW! Children’s Museum does not endorse, promote, or recommend any specific programs or treatments for ASD or IDD. We encourage families to carefully consider available information and individual needs when making choices for services.  

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about accessibility or inclusion at WOW!, please email us at accessibility@wowchildrensmuseum.org.

WOW! Cares Bags

We understand how difficult it can be for children to process the big feelings that can come with traumatic events, and we’re here to support them as they heal. To help aid in that process, we have created these WOW! Cares Bags for children who are experiencing any type of trauma in their lives. Each kit contains a reusable WOW! tote bag, a plush bear, a notebook and pen, a flashlight, a stress ball, playing cards, and a pinwheel kit with crayons. All items are designed to assist children as they process big feelings.  

WOW! Cares Bags are available at the front desk.

We hope that WOW! Children’s Museum can continue to be a place that brings fun, comfort, and stability into your lives!
